Whimsical and graceful, ribbons are an innovative accessory to any wedding decor. Options are limitless as types of fabric, style, texture range from rustic to chic, from understated to ornate. For an outdoor event rich colors like cranberry, apricot, saffron and turquoise are striking against the backdrop of the outdoors. If you already have a brightly-colored wedding theme, subdued ribbons can add a lavish touch, particuarly to things that seem realtively simple--dress up little details like silverware, floral vases, treetrunks, gift bags.

Nothing screams autumn like a crunchy, yet perfectly chewy caramel covered apple, but this sweet treat can be incorporated in so many other ways. Not only does the beautiful color mirror the changing fall foliage, but it is an irresistible addition to any dessert. Try caramel apple crisp, caramel cake or caramel fudge for a seasonal take on dessert, or incorporate it into a beverage, like warm caramel apple cider to offset a fall day. Or maybe you want to send your guests home with something to chew on, caramel treats can easily be purchased, or made, if you want to do it yourself.
